Frequently asked questions

How long is the ceremony?

How many guests can I bring to the ceremony? Do we need tickets?

There is no limit to how many guests you can bring. The event is not ticketed. Seats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

How long is the reception after the ceremony? Should I make lunch plans?

Heavy hors d'oeuvres are served for about 90 minutes after the ceremony. There is no need to make separate lunch plans unless you would like to do so. Talk with your graduate before making plans, some departments hold receptions that afternoon after the campus-wide reception.
